\n\tSadness, Anger, Fear and Anxiety will be among the typical range of emotions on display at an NHL game<\/a> when the Washington Capitals battle the New York Rangers on Sunday, April 5 for an animated, alternate telecast called the Inside Out Classic.<\/p>\n

\n\tESPN+, Disney+, Disney Channel and Disney XD will present the real-time, animated game from Hockey Island \u2014 direct from the mind of Inside Out<\/em> youngster Riley! \u2014 while a traditional NHL telecast from Madison Square Garden will be available on ESPN. It all starts at 7 p.m. EDT.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe complementary Inside Out Classic will feature animated players skating alongside Inside Out<\/em> characters and leverage two types of tracking technologies \u2014 NHL EDGE positional data (NHL Puck and Player Tracking) and Sony\u2019s Hawk-Eye Innovations \u2014 to present the action on the ice.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs a promo says, it\u2019s \u201creal-time animated NHL hockey set inside the mind world of Inside Out<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tVoice talent from the Disney\/Pixar films, including Phyllis Smith (Sadness), Lewis Black (Anger), Tony Hale (Fear) and Maya Hawke (Anxiety), will be featured in the animated presentation as well.<\/p>\n

\n\tUsing Beyond Sports\u2019 Virtual Commentator technology<\/a> from Sony, the ESPN commentators calling the cartoon play \u2014 Drew Carter, Kevin Weekes and Arda \u00d6cal \u2014 will wear virtual reality headsets for motion capture, immersing them in that environment.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2023, an NHL Big City Greens Classic featuring the same two teams was the first-of-its-kind real-time volumetric animation presentation in sports.<\/p>\n

\n\tESPN and the data-driven sports technology company Beyond Sports this year expanded its agreement for alternate telecasts using Disney IP, and ESPN has produced multiple animated alternate telecasts under the agreement as a means to attract new and casual fans to sports.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
